About
Daegeun Park’s research lies at the intersection of bio-inspired robotics, wearable exoskeletons, and rehabilitation technology. He is best known for pioneering variable-stiffness flapping mechanisms for underwater robots, demonstrating that adaptive compliance can dramatically boost thrust—a concept validated in his 2014 paper (95 citations). Park also led the development of SNUMAX, the grand-winning soft robot at the RoboSoft Grand Challenge (2016, 25 citations), showcasing multi-functional compliant systems capable of adapting to unpredictable environments. In the wearable domain, he created the Shoulder-sideWINDER and Elbow-sideWINDER exoskeletons, which address the critical issue of joint misalignment to reduce discomfort for industrial workers (42 and 12 citations, respectively). His work extends to stroke rehabilitation, where he developed telerobotic systems for remote elbow function assessment (18 citations) and compared robotic strength rehabilitation algorithms. With over 230 cumulative citations, Park’s contributions bridge fundamental biomechanics and practical assistive devices, advancing both aquatic robotics and human-robot interaction for clinical and industrial applications.
